Unarmed teen shooting: the debate rages on...

[kiki5711]

Kiki, is English not your primary language? I'm not being sarcastic. I remember you saying a while back that you weren't from this country? If my hazy recollection is correct, this may explain a lot.

Why, is my writing hard to understand?

FBM - Earlier, and in most posts, I was just making a general statement that wasn't directed at you or anyone else in particular.

Keep in mind that if you wish to pull the racism card, Seth has a Negro girlfriend and FBM has "yellow-fever"
I'm the non-apologetic racist around here.

@ amused: Gotcha. My bad. I thought you were responding to me.

@ Tyrranical: You may or may not be the only one, but you're the only one who's open about it. While I disagree with the worldview, I appreciate your forthrightness about it.

No worries, I'm just here for the fun of it.

That, and the tits and beer.

Let me know who wins this thread.

In war and Coito-Kiki threads, there are no winners, only survivors.

You make lots of spelling mistakes, but mostly it's that words don't mean what you think they mean, and subtleties and distinctions are often lost on you. If English wasn't your first language then this would be perfectly understandable, and preferable to the alternative.

Wait, Seth has a friend? I didn't know that either.

Any time you take issue with a point someone is making, there seems to be some confusion because your understanding of certain words or ideas is quite different than everyone else's. Everyone attacks your argument, but then it turns out in the end that you're not on the same page as far as language usage. Your understanding, or misunderstanding, of the word "profiling" for instance.

The reason I brought the issue up was because something similar happened on another forum I used to go to. Everyone gave this one guy a real hard time. But then we found out he was Filipino, and that English was not his primary language. So his problem was that he couldn't express himself well in English. He thought he could, but he couldn't, so this was a source of constant misunderstanding.

Well, until she moves unexpectedly......

I've said he may be prejudiced and paranoid OR he may be reporting accurately. I don't know. I only know what he said to the 911 officer. The key point though is that that is all YOU know too. Right?

You've never said that, until after I said it. And if that is the case, as you say that he might have been prejudiced and paranoid, then his version of (supposedly) reporting accurately may not be accurate at all, or at least swung towards his favor.

As I said. Regarding the other paragraph. You took words that were out of sinc and I can't answer based on that kind of line of questioning.

Never say never, kiki....http://rationalia.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... 0#p1186322

Yes, it may not be accurate at all, and it may be accurate.

I'm not taking anything out of sync. All I'm asking is what makes you think Zimmerman wasn't acting in self defense?

You're eastern European, but I can't remember the exact country. Your English is good, but we all know it's not your native language.

I used to do mistakes in English too. Then I learned to make mistakes. The wife pointed it out.

[Coito ergo sum]

I was unaware that English wasn't kiki's first language. That does certainly explains things, and makes them quite understandable.

Well, SOME PEOPLE are already ahead on points. Because SOME PEOPLE said that Zimmerman had to stand trial, and OTHERS (losers) wouldn't hear of it.
